I hated this game at first. Theres a lot of grinding, the real life cost of coins and pearls is outrageous, and you cant exchange one for the other. Sometimes you have to go back and forth switching crew members because your boat is too small, villagers, animals, and plants get in your way of travel so that you cant get to where you tapped, and the items you can buy in game are super limited and typically unattractive. Also, when you reopen the carnival at Carnival Rock, confetti falls. I LOVED this at first. Then I realized I never got a pic of the anteater for my album. The anteater only comes out when it rains. There is no longer rain on Carnival Rock. Ever. Just confetti. I cant finish my photo album, now. However, I downloaded this as a time killer. I wanted a free game that gave me a lot to do on work breaks, waiting at doctors appointments, and other boring times and so the grind factor (having to make stuff, earn coins, etc. to move on in the game) helps. Ive been playing for about a year and its the only game Ive consistently kept. I enjoy the challenge and how fast an hour or two can fly by playing. The only thing I ask (besides some fixes to the above!) is an update. Easter is still going on for some reason and its currently January. Easter store wasnt even released til May. (Easter was in March, I think.) Thats 8 months without an update, nothing new, no holidays, no new items, no fixes, nothing. Its like they abandoned the game entirely. I loved the added Doza chapter, but when thats over, then what? Please, if you want a time killing game, play this. But know its not perfect. And to the creators... Please update? New chapters? Clipping fixes? Fixes to above problems? New items at the stores? A fair price adjustment? Please??? Edit: Its been over a year since the last update. This game is officially dead. Dont bother downloading. :-( RIP
